"Argentina, 1985" masterfully recounts the gripping true story of Julio Strassera, Luis Moreno Ocampo, and their courageous young legal team taking on Argentina's bloodiest military dictatorship. The film encapsulates the tension and drama of this David-vs-Goliath battle for justice. However, the English dubbed version unfortunately loses some of its impactful essence. The original Spanish dialogue would have delivered more heartfelt intensity, resonating deeply with the audience. Despite this, the story's core of bravery and determination remains compelling. An inspiring testament to the power of justice, it's a must-watch for those interested in historical legal battles.
